I hope you\u2019re enjoying staring longingly out the window as cabin fever sets in, because you get to do it for another month!<\/p>\n
Gov. Tony Evers announced Thursday<\/a> that he is extending the \u201cSafer at Home\u201d order \u2014 initially slated to expire later this month<\/a> \u2014 until May 26. Evers says that while current measures have been successful in limiting the amount of COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin, extending them is necessary to prevent further outbreaks. And in true teacher fashion, his reasoning came in the form of a helpful analogy.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t think of this like flipping a light switch. It\u2019s like turning a dial,\u201d he said in a radio address<\/a> and series of tweets<\/a>. \u201cThings won\u2019t get back to normal until there\u2019s a vaccine and treatment for this disease.\u201d<\/p>\n But we can\u2019t think of this like flipping a light switch. It\u2019s like turning a dial and the more disciplined we are now, the faster we can turn it in the future.<\/p>\n \u2014 Governor Tony Evers (@GovEvers) April 16, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
